Features:

  • Interface Between Modbus TCP/IP Networks and ControlLogix Processors
  • Combines Client and Server Communication Capabilities with Extreme Environment Operation
  • Operates in Conjunction with the Logix-XT™ Control Platform and Standard ControlLogix Systems
The MVI56E-MNETXT operates as the Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server Communication Module in a ControlLogix rack, providing seamless data exchange between Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors and Modbus compatible devices. It continuously facilitates communication through a 5000-word register space that exchanges data between the processor and the Modbus TCP/IP network, supporting both Client (Master) and Server (Slave) capabilities for versatile industrial connectivity. Seamless integration is standard with the MVI56E-MNETXT, however its specialized XT design allows reliable operation in extreme environments and at higher operating temperatures where standard modules would fail. The MVI56E-MNETXT features a conformal coating to protect it from harsh or caustic conditions, making improvements in environmental resilience over previous and standard MVI56E-MNET designs in addition to incorporating universal Modbus TCP/IP communication capability within the ControlLogix platform.

The MVI56E-MNETXT provides essential communication functions common to the entire network architecture, and is a critical component of the data exchange path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall control system. One MVI56E-MNETXT module is required per ControlLogix rack for Modbus TCP/IP connectivity. The MVI56E-MNETXT occupies only a single slot in the 1756 ControlLogix backplane and supports 10/100 Mbps auto crossover detection Ethernet configuration for flexible network deployment.

For Extreme Environment applications, the MVI56E-MNETXT is specifically designed for the Logix-XT™ control platform. In addition to standard communication operation, the XT configuration also performs reliably under elevated temperature ranges and harsh industrial conditions. The MVI56E-MNETXT extreme environment design executes protection using the conformal coating specified in the module specifications. Using this method, the MVI56E-MNETXT continually safeguards internal circuitry from moisture, dust, and corrosive contaminants. If the system operates in conditions where standard modules would experience degradation or failure (outside normal temperature or environmental tolerance levels), the MVI56E-MNETXT maintains stable performance and ensures continuous data exchange between the ControlLogix processor and Modbus TCP/IP network devices.

The MVI56E-MNETXT ProSoft Interface Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
The MVI56E-MNETXT is a Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server Communication Module specifically engineered for Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors, enabling seamless interfacing with Modbus compatible devices across industrial networks. This module facilitates robust communication with Modicon Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) and a diverse array of instruments and devices, utilizing a 5000-word register space to efficiently exchange data between the processor and the Modbus TCP/IP network. The MVI56E-MNETXT is functionally identical to the MVI56E-MNET, yet it is purpose-built for the Logix-XT™ control platform, allowing it to operate reliably in extreme environments and at elevated operating temperatures. It features a conformal coating that provides essential protection against harsh or caustic conditions, ensuring long-term durability in demanding industrial settings.

This MVI56E-MNETXT module is designed for backward compatibility with previous MVI56-MNET versions, ensuring seamless integration into existing ControlLogix systems. It occupies a single slot in the 1756 ControlLogix backplane and supports 10/100 Mbps auto crossover detection Ethernet configuration for flexible network setup. The module offers user-definable data memory mapping of up to 5000 16-bit registers, providing extensive flexibility for data management. CIPconnect-enabled network configuration and diagnostics monitoring are supported through ControlLogix 1756-ENxT and 1756-CNB modules, enabling EtherNet/IP pass-through communication for streamlined network oversight. Configuration is simplified through ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software, a Windows-based graphical user interface that facilitates straightforward product and network setup. Sample ladder logic and Add-On Instructions (AOI) are included to assist with data transfer between the module and processor, while a 4-character alpha-numeric scrolling LED display presents status and diagnostics information in plain English for immediate troubleshooting clarity. The ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) software enables quick network location and temporary IP address assignment, and the Personality Module—a non-volatile industrial-grade Compact Flash (CF) card—stores all network and module configurations, allowing rapid in-the-field replacement by simply transferring the CF card.

The MVI56E-MNETXT incorporates ProSoft Technology's Modbus TCP/IP implementation (MNET), delivering both Client (Master) and Server (Slave) capabilities to accommodate diverse communication architectures. Modbus data types overlap within the module's memory database, enabling the same data to be conveniently accessed as either bit-level or register-level information as application requirements dictate. The module supports configurable floating-point data movement, including compatibility with Enron or Daniel® floating-point formats, ensuring versatile data handling for sophisticated industrial applications.
